Kalyn's Kitchen Picks: Meza Peppadew Feta Dip

It's been a while since I've shared a product recommendation for Kalyn's Kitchen Picks, but last weekend I picked up a container of this Peppadew Feta Dip at Costco, and I completely loved it. This had the kind of flavor that made me take one bite and wonder why I hadn't bought it months ago when I first saw it. It's made by the same company that makes the Meza Hummus that I'm also wildly enthusiastic about, but I didn't find this dip on their website yet.

If you're not familiar with peppadew peppers, they're famous enough to have their own Wikipedia entry, and no wonder, because the flavor of these little red mildly spicy peppers is truly wonderful. Here's more about Peppadew Peppers from Slashfood. The peppers came from South Africa, but now they're available in the United States, and also many other parts of the world. This would be wonderful used as a dip for celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, or even apples, or to replace mayo on a sandwich, but keep reading to see how I ate it with another of my favorite South Beach Diet friendly products, and I also found a few recipes for peppadew peppers from other blogs.

I've never seen peppadew peppers, but I will look out for them. Good to know the company behind them is so socially responible too. I wonder if the bottle of peri-peri sauce I just bought from Nandos (made in Sth Africa) has any in it?

Oooh, that sounds so good! Feta and peppadew is such a great combination (hence my feta & chive stuffed peppadew nibbles - thanks for the generous mention!). I also put them on pizzas or cut into strips and mix with honey and soy sauce for sticky, spicy pork chops. And if you like a sweetish salad dressing, use the pickling liquid from a jar of peppadews instead of vinegar in salad dressings :)

Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!
